MONTREAL – Kreider the Horrible. The Skates-up Slasher. The Boston College Bandit. If you buy into the Canadiens’ frustrations, these seemingly would be some of the nicknames appropriate for Rangers forward Chris Kreider, whom Montreal has labeled this series’ villain for going medieval on goaltender Carey Price in Game 1 and knocking him out for the series.

MONTREAL - What’s the French word for panic? Canadiens coach Michel Therrien announced Monday morning prior to Game 2 that Price, his starting goaltender and team MVP, is out for the remainder of the Eastern Conference Final due to an injury sustained on a second-period collision with Rangers forward Chris Kreider in Game 1 on Saturday.
